Genuine OEM Toner Cartridges

Buy on the part number

The part number in the listing title is the one that matters, not the printer model in the marketing copy. A cartridge that physically fits is not necessarily one your printer will accept, and yield differs between the standard and high-yield versions of the same part — the two are often a single letter apart in the number. Check the number printed on the cartridge you are replacing.

The condition wording is not the same on every listing

One of the current listings states OEM sealed and the other states new. Those are different claims, and we print whichever one the stock actually supports rather than calling everything sealed OEM. If the seal matters to you, and on toner it usually should, ask us to confirm before you order.

Storage and shelf life

Toner powder itself keeps more or less indefinitely. The drum, roller and seal components in an all-in-one cartridge do age, and a cartridge that has sat in a warm drawer for years can streak until it is purged. Store cartridges flat, in the box, out of sunlight and away from heat.

Two cartridges, two completely different buyers

The CDK Global LaserStation 6100 cartridge, part 6017837, is a car dealership part. It is catalogued under both CDK and ADP, because the dealer management system was ADP’s before CDK was spun out of it, and it fits nothing else. Rated 25,000 pages at 5 per cent coverage, which is roughly ten times a desktop office cartridge and about right for what a service drive actually consumes. Buy the OEM part rather than a remanufactured one here for a specific reason: the machine prints onto pre-printed multi-part stock, and a cartridge that lays toner fractionally off registration produces documents a customer has to sign that do not line up with the boxes.

The HP CE505JC is an ordinary office part for the LaserJet P2035 and P2055 families. The JC is HP’s contract-channel packaging, not a different cartridge — genuine HP, same physical part, sold into managed-print programmes instead of onto a retail shelf. That is exactly why it turns up in surplus at all: a print contract ends, an office closes, and unopened stock has to go somewhere.

Be careful with the yield figure, ours included

Distributor catalogues list CE505JC at 8,000 pages and some resellers label it an 05X. Those two claims do not agree. HP’s own published ISO/IEC 19752 yields for the retail cartridges in this family are 2,300 pages for the 05A and 6,500 for the 05X, so 8,000 is a distributor figure and not something we have read off an HP datasheet for the JC part. We would rather say that than round it into a claim. If cost per page is what decides the purchase, check the yield printed on the box — and remember every one of these numbers assumes 5 per cent coverage, which almost nobody actually prints. Both cartridges are sealed; neither listing states a warranty term.

The CDK Global LaserStation 6100 cartridge is listed as sealed OEM stock and the HP CE505JC as new. Neither is a remanufactured cartridge. They are on a mining site at all because they came in as part of a larger surplus purchase.
